Many friends may have heard of Dzi beads, but they have never heard of Sherpa beads and don’t know what they are.
Sherpa beads are something created by the Sherpa people. Today, there are only three types that can be seen in the antique market.
One is the old Sherpa beads from the Warring States Period two thousand years ago, the second is the Sherba Beads from the middle and early Qing Dynasty, that is, Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, and the third is modern.
After Jiaqing, the craftsmanship of making this thing was lost. No one knows how the Sherpas made it. The modern ones cannot be called Sherpa beads at all. They are not the kind of craftsmanship and materials used in ancient times.
People still know that Dzi beads are a type of artificial agate, but Sherpa beads have no idea what they are. I see many people rumoring that they are made from red coral powder. They are wrong. They are totally wrong.
The Sherpas live deep in the mountains, under the snow-capped mountains, thousands of miles away from the coastal areas, and rarely have contact with foreigners. Where can they get so many expensive red corals?
Some people say it is Liuli, which is not correct either.
Sherba beads are opaque in color and do not have the unique spiral patterns and bubbles of colored glaze. There is only a "pressure line" from top to bottom in the middle of the bead.
What material? How is it made?
I didn’t know about it at first, and I only found out about it this time, but I only knew a rough idea. There is no information available in the outside world on the production methods and materials used for sherbet beads.
I guess some people who like cultural entertainment may say: "Can't you? I bought a string of Sherpa beads in the live broadcast room. It cost 199. It was shipped from Lhasa."
You're a big bastard.
That is 100% red glass glue injection. Give me 10 yuan and I can sell you a few tons. I can still make 5 yuan per bunch.
Real sorbet was sold by the piece. In those days, one piece cost tens of thousands. It was a handheld toy exclusively for the rich.
Many people are good at it and love to play, but they don't know. I'll give you some insider knowledge. If you know it, you won't be fooled.
For Tibetan literature and entertainment, these things are basically fake as soon as they are taken out, so don’t spend money to buy them.
Meteorite, a small Jiugong tablet made of Tiantie.
I have never seen a real thing like this. In ancient times, there was such a technology as meteorite iron. In the Warring States Period, bits and pieces of meteorite iron swords were found, but people didn’t use this thing to make Jiugong tablets. No one in ancient times did it.
, where does the old one come from in modern times? Some experts or high-end players say there is, don’t listen, you can’t believe it.
There is also a large conch, which is a large conch that can blow loudspeakers and is inlaid with turquoise. It is nicknamed the conch.
The characteristic of this thing is that it is white in color, very white. The turquoise may be real, but the conch must be fake. I know a buddy in Panjiayuan. He sells this kind of conch in the West District. During the three days of National Day last year, he sold
After paying 160,000 yuan, I asked him how he made it. He said: "I have a steel mold that looks like a conch. I mix white silicon powder with water and glue in proportion, heat it in a pot and boil it into a paste, and pour it into the mold.
Close the lid. There is a row of small holes on the mold. Before it cools down, use chopsticks to poke the turquoise into the small holes. When it dries, it will be ready. It will still make noise when you blow it."
Here is Tiantie's small golden-winged roc. The wings of this kind of bird all look black. The seller usually uses a magnet to suck it. The seller said: "See? The magnet can't suck it. This is true."
The genuine article of the Eight Classics.”
Then why can't you suck it?
Because it is not made of iron, it is made of copper.
It's dyed black, and some people feel it's heavy on their hands. The seller said it's because the sky iron is too dense. In fact, it's copper wrapped with cement blocks. You don't need to use a hammer to break it open and you'll know. Some people don't know.
She is quite beautiful. She hangs a piece of cement around her neck every day and goes out to show off her beauty.
That night I asked him: "Brother Biao, do you know how to make Sherbet?"
"How can I know how to do it? How many old people in the clan know how to do it? Do you want to see how it is done?"
I nodded repeatedly.
Zhang Biao muttered: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult. I am the tribal master, and those old men who know how to make snow beads are all on guard against me, let alone an outsider like you."
I could tell that he didn't mean what he said.
"Brother Biao, look at this. After we leave, I will come back to see you in a while. I will bring you more good things then."
He immediately rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, remember to bring me more of that stuff."
"How much do you want?" I asked.
"At least... ten boxes, right?"
I was secretly stunned when I heard this. It seems that he has no intention of leaving in this life.
"No problem, Brother Biao. When the time comes, I'll find a horse to carry ten boxes for you."
"Brothers!"
He patted my shoulder hard.
"Don't worry, I will make arrangements for you. I guarantee that you can see how they make Sherpa beads before you leave."
"Not tonight? I don't want to study. I just want to take a look and learn about the raw materials."
"I know, but I can't do it today. I'll start holding a funeral for that person right away. Let's do it tomorrow. You wait until I notify you tomorrow."
Around nine o'clock in the evening, the clan began to hold a tree burial.
